Canned and frozen fruits and vegetables are nutrient-packed, cost-effective, and convenient. They`re picked at peak freshness, locking in all the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. They’re just as nutritious (and tasty) as fresh, making them perfect for quick, easy meals!
Try these meal and snack ideas your family will love:
Taco bar: Use steamed frozen corn, canned black beans, premade salsa, shredded lettuce, tortillas, and any other toppings you have for a fun dinner!
Smoothies: Blend frozen berries, bananas, yogurt or water, and ice for a refreshing treat.
Tuna salad: Mix canned tuna with mayonnaise and get creative with add-ins like onions, celery, canned chickpeas, or even Granny Smith apples!
Comfort bowls: Layer mashed potatoes, canned corn, chicken, gravy, and steamed frozen broccoli for a hearty meal.
Fried rice: Stir-fry frozen vegetables with eggs and rice for a quick, flavorful dish.

This month, students are learning all about #beans and #legumes through our #EducationalSeasonings program in the dining hall. Beans and legumes are an important source of protein and fiber and are considered good for your heart.
Food brings us together. Enjoy a meal or share a food experience with others to connect and appreciate mealtime. #foodistogetherness #AllFoodsFit @sagediningservices
Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, is a festival before Lent begins. Traditions include feasting and celebrating with parades before fasting. Foods enjoyed include Cajun and Creole cuisine (e.g., jambalaya, po’ boys, shrimp and grits, gumbo, beignets/doughnuts, hush puppies, king cake) to honor Mardi Gras’ Louisiana roots. #HappyMardiGras
